Chelsea ready to battle Arsenal for Brentford star?

The Merseysiders have already offloaded Sylvain Distin, and Antolin Alcaraz this summer, leading to the perception that they could bring in a new central defender to their ranks.

However, Martinez has now dismissed talks of making an £8m move for United defender Evans.

"No, there is no truth," he told the Liverpool Echo. "I can tell you that there is nothing on that."

Evans has a year left on his current deal at Old Trafford.
